273: Nuwa mends the sky, and the six sages return to their positions.

Rumble—!

As Buzhou Mountain collapsed with a crash, the entire Primordial World was plunged into a doomsday-like scene!

The sky was torn open by an enormous hole!

Endless Nine Heavens Weak Water, like a heavenly river pouring down, wildly gushed out from that hole!

That Nine Heavens Weak Water was as heavy as ten thousand jun and corroded all things!

Wherever it passed, the earth was submerged, living beings melted, and the entire Primordial World instantly turned into a watery realm!

Countless living beings who couldn't escape in time wailed and struggled in this overwhelming flood, eventually turning into floating corpses.

"My heavens..."

"Is...is this the end of the world?"

The people of Dou Qi Continent, looking at the tragic, purgatorial scene on the sky screen, were all terrified, their faces pale and their bodies trembling.

They couldn't imagine that merely due to one person's Madness act, such a vast world was brought to the brink of destruction!

That Ancestral Witch named Gonggong was truly too terrifying!

"No...Buzhou Mountain has fallen..."

"The sky...has collapsed..."

In the Primordial World, whether it was the Witch Race or the Yao Race, everyone stared blankly at the overwhelming flood descending from the sky and the continuously collapsing heavens, their eyes filled with endless despair.

They knew that everything was over.

Whether it was the conflict between the Witch and Yao Races or the position of the protagonist of Heaven and Earth, at this moment, it all became meaningless.

Because the entire world was about to be destroyed.

Just as all living beings were sinking into despair.

"Alas..."

A sigh filled with compassion and pity suddenly came down from the Nine Heavens.

Immediately after, a figure of incomparable holiness, filled with endless Qi of Creation, appeared beneath the huge hole in the sky.

It was a woman with a human head and snake body, exceptionally beautiful in appearance, and noble in temperament.

In her hand, she held a multicolored Divine Stone, emitting a soft glow.

"Empress Nuwa!"

"It's Saint Nuwa!"

The moment they saw this woman, all the despairing living beings of the Primordial World seemed to have found a savior, and they all became excited, tears welling up in their eyes, as they knelt on the ground!

"Nuwa?"

The people of Dou Qi Continent also looked puzzled.

"She is one of the seven Saints under Dao Ancestor Dao Ancestor, the Saint Nuwa of the Yao Race."

Li Chengqian's voice rang out at the opportune moment.

"She is also the Mother of the Human Race, who created the Human Race."

Mother of the Human Race?!

Upon hearing this title, everyone's hearts trembled!

They hadn't expected that this seemingly beautiful woman would possess such a lofty status!

Just as they were in shock.

On the sky screen, Saint Nuwa had already moved.

She threw the multicolored Divine Stone in her hand fiercely towards the sky!

That multicolored Divine Stone instantly transformed into a radiant, multicolored light, completely and tightly plugging the enormous hole in the sky!

The Nine Heavens Weak Water that had been pouring down also stopped flowing.

However, this was only a temporary solution, not a fundamental one.

Without the support of Buzhou Mountain, the sky continued to tilt and collapse towards the earth!

Just then.

An enormous black Xuan Tortoise slowly swam over from the depths of the North Sea.

It swam to Saint Nuwa's front, looking at this world it had lived in for hundreds of millions of years with eyes full of compassion and reluctance, for the last time.

Then, it gently bowed its head to Saint Nuwa.

"Empress, please use my four limbs as the new Pillars of Heaven."

Its voice was ancient and calm, as if it had long seen through life and death.

Saint Nuwa looked at the North Sea Xuan Tortoise before her, a hint of unbearable pain flashing in her eyes.

But she knew this was the only way.

She bowed deeply to the North Sea Xuan Tortoise.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for sacrificing yourself for righteousness."

"The myriad spirits of the Primordial World will forever remember your grace."

With that, she no longer hesitated, a flash of light in her hand, and a long sword radiating the Qi of Creation appeared in her grasp.

She brandished the long sword, severing the four limbs of the North Sea Xuan Tortoise, which were like heavenly pillars!

Then, she placed the four enormous tortoise legs in the four corners of the Primordial World: southeast, northwest!

Rumble—!

Four new Pillars of Heaven rose from the ground!

The sky, which was about to collapse, finally stabilized at this moment!

A catastrophe that could have destroyed the entire Primordial World was thus quelled.

And Saint Nuwa, having completed all this, also had a somewhat pale complexion due to the expenditure of too much Origin.

She looked at the scarred and devastated land below, and a look of unbearable pain once again appeared in her eyes.

Just then.

Above the Nine Heavens, the figure of Dao Ancestor Dao Ancestor reappeared.

Behind him were five other Saints, whose aura was equally unfathomable and whose Saintly might was vast!

One was an old man in an Eight Trigrams Daoist robe, holding the Taiji Diagram, with a pure and inactive aura—Grand Pure Saint, Laozi!

One was a middle-aged Daoist in a jade-colored Daoist robe, holding the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, with a majestic face—Jade Pure Saint, Primordial Heavenly Venerate!

One was a young Daoist in a cyan Daoist robe, carrying four immortal swords on his back, with Sword Qi soaring to the sky—Upper Pure Saint, Sect Master Tongtian!

And two others, with faces showing suffering, wearing golden kasayas, came from the barren lands of the West—Saint Jieyin and Saint Zhunti!

These were the other five Saints under Dao Ancestor, besides Nuwa!

"The Six Saints are in position!"

Li Chengqian's voice boomed in everyone's ears!

"From this day forward, the Primordial World shall be jointly governed by them!"

The Six Saints appeared simultaneously above the Primordial World.

They looked at the world below, which had become desolate and broken due to the war between the Witch and Yao Races, all with tightly furrowed brows.

"Alas, this is fate."

Grand Pure Laozi sighed.

He waved the Taiji Diagram in his hand, and the black and white scroll instantly unfolded, transforming into a golden bridge that spanned Heaven and Earth!

On the golden bridge, the Yin and Yang Qi flowed, re-ordering the violent and chaotic Laws of Heaven and Earth, making them orderly.

Primordial Heavenly Venerate also activated his Pangu Banner.

He gently shook it, and from the banner shot out billions of streams of Chaos Sword Qi, which shattered and smoothed out the spatial cracks created by the great battle.

Sect Master Tongtian, on the other hand, re-activated his Four Immortal Swords of Zhu Xian.

However, this time, it was not for slaughter, but for suppression!

The four immortal swords transformed into four towering Sword Pillars, suppressing the continuously surging earth, water, fire, and wind, completely stabilizing the entire world.

And Jieyin and Zhunti of the West chanted Buddhist mantras, with golden wheels of Karma appearing behind their heads.

Endless Buddhist light emanated from their bodies, illuminating the earth.

The grievances and lingering souls of the living beings who died in the flood gradually subsided under the illumination of this Buddhist light, were delivered, and reborn.

For a time, the entire Primordial World was filled with vast Saintly might, melodious immortal music, and pervasive Buddhist light!

The original doomsday-like scene, under the combined efforts of the Six Saints, was actually recovering its vitality at an incredible speed!

Seeing this scene, the people of Dou Qi Continent were once again utterly shocked by the Saints' methods!

They had originally thought that Saint Nuwa mending the heavens was already a divine feat.

But they hadn't expected that the combined efforts of these Six Saints could re-establish the earth, water, fire, and wind, and recreate the universe!

This was already a power beyond their comprehension!

"Saint...this is a Saint..."

Gu Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes filled with endless shock.

He now understood Li Chengqian's purpose in showing them all this.

This was no longer just a display of power.

Rather, it was showing them a brand new worldview, one they had never heard of!

A true world of cultivation, with "Saints" at its pinnacle and "Heavenly Dao" as its guiding principle!

Just then.

Dao Ancestor Dao Ancestor's magnificent voice once again resounded throughout the Primordial World.

"The Witch and Yao Races have brought Chaos to the Primordial World, causing the collapse of the Heavenly Pillars and the suffering of living beings, their sins are profound!"

"From this day forward, the Witch Race shall never step out of the Netherworld Blood Sea for all eternity!"

"Yao Race, Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, shall perish to atone for their sins! The remaining Yao Race shall retreat to North Kuru and not emerge again!"

"This tribulation ends here!"

"The Human Race shall be the new protagonists of Heaven and Earth!"

Dao Ancestor Dao Ancestor's voice, like the final judgment of the Heavenly Dao, put an end to this tragic war between the Witch and Yao Races.

But his last sentence caused all the powerhouses of Dou Qi Continent to tremble in their hearts!

The Human Race...to be the protagonists of Heaven and Earth?!

They subconsciously looked at themselves.

They were also the Human Race!

Did that mean...they also had a chance to become the protagonists of Heaven and Earth, like the Human Race of the Primordial World?!

An unprecedented flame, named "Hope," burned fiercely in everyone's hearts!
